After sitting down, Ji Yuanrong said: "I believe you Daoyou Xiao, so just wait a moment."
"I also believe in fellow Taoist priest Xiao Dao," Venerable Li Yuan also said. After saying that, he sat back on the futon again.
Venerable Kui didn't say anything, but sat down cross-legged.
"Thank you fellow Taoists for your trust." Xiao Zhi said, feeling quite warm in his heart.
"How long will it take?" Venerable Kui said with a pale face and a cold voice.
Xiao Zhi thought for a moment and said, "A quarter of an hour at most."
"Okay, then wait for a quarter of an hour." Venerable Kui nodded.
After that, the hall fell into silence, and no one spoke anymore.
At this time, in the inner city of Dachang Imperial City and the headquarters of Dachang Shenmen, in the empty palace belonging to Venerable Jishi, two people were sitting opposite each other across a white jade table.
The man looked to be about sixty years old, with a bun, a pale face, and a black Taoist uniform embroidered with gold. If Xiao Zhi were here, he could tell at a glance that this was Venerable Ji Shi.
Sitting opposite the Venerable Jishi was an old man. This man had white hair and a childlike face, and an elegant face. His white hair was draped behind his head. He was also wearing a black Taoist uniform embroidered with gold.
Venerable Jishi picked up a wine glass on the white jade table, drank all the wine in it, and said: "Tai Xuzi, how long do you want to trap me?"
With the opening of Venerable Jishi's words, the identity of the person sitting opposite him was already revealed.
This white-haired old man is actually Taixuzi from the Taixu lineage of Shenmen!
Taixuzi smiled lightly and said, "Don't be anxious, fellow Taoist. When the time comes, I will lift this restriction."
Venerable Ji Shi sighed softly and said: "Tai Xuzi, although you and I are not on good terms, you are the great disciple of Zhenjun after all. I am still in awe of you, but I never thought that you would actually
They will attack their own people."
Tai Xuzi shook his head and said calmly: "I have never made a move against him."
Venerable Ji Shi said: "Xuanming Kingdom wants to kill him. If you do this, you are helping Xuanming Kingdom kill him."
Taixuzi said calmly: "He is an evil star. As long as he is around, the war between our Dachang Kingdom and Xuanming Kingdom will only become more intense and never stop. Then the war will spread all over the land and all lives will be destroyed."
Venerable Jishi said: "He has contributed greatly to Dachang."
Tai Xuzi said calmly: "I know that he has contributed to Dachang, but his contribution is not worth it. In order for our country of Dachang to continue, it is better for him to disappear from this world."
Venerable Jishi said: "Besides this point, you want him to die. There should be other reasons, such as... fear that he will become a god? Then..."
However, before Venerable Ji Shi could finish his words, Tai Xuzi interrupted him and said: "You are overthinking, he will never become a god! How can it be so easy to become a god? I have been cultivating for so many years.
, he is still far away from becoming a god, let alone him."
When Venerable Jishi heard this, he couldn't help but laugh. He said, "Tai Xuzi, are you feeling guilty?"
"Having a guilty conscience? How can a junior like me deserve to have a guilty conscience?" Taixuzi snorted, flicked his sleeves and stood up, saying, "I'll be here tomorrow to talk to you about Taoism."
After saying that, Taixuzi took a step and walked dozens of feet away, leaving the empty palace of Lord Ji Shi.
He glanced around and saw at least a dozen people wandering not far from the palace, looking over here.
"What are you waiting for here?" Tai Xuzi said with a dark expression.
A young Taoist priest wearing a black Taoist uniform embroidered with silver quickly bowed down and said, "I have met the master!"
"I've met Master!"
"I've met my great uncle!"
"I've seen Tai Xuzi!"
Others also bowed down one after another.
Taixuzi glanced at the young man wearing black and silver embroidered Taoist uniforms, and his expression softened slightly. This was a genius disciple of his divine sect Taixu's lineage, with extraordinary qualifications and the appearance of a Nascent Soul. One of the disciples that the Taixu lineage plans to focus on cultivating in the next few decades.
Taixuzi said: "Ji Xin, please inform us that this area will be temporarily designated as a forbidden area. No one is allowed to come near this place without my order."
"Yes, Master!" the young Taoist said respectfully.
Taixuzi nodded and left here calmly.
"Have you heard? From now on, this place is a forbidden area. Anyone who has no business can leave immediately!" After Taixuzi left, the young Taoist immediately used chicken feathers as arrows and began to show off his power.
Most of the dozen or so figures lingering nearby retreated silently under Ji Xin's scolding.
"Jilong, Jiya, you two stay here with me and don't let anyone get close!" Ji Xin then named two more people.
"Yes, senior brother." Two more young Taoist priests stayed behind at Ji Xin's request. These two young Taoist priests and Ji Xin's contemporaries are both young monks from the Taixu lineage.
Most of the people who retreated were also young monks. They were not monks from Taixu lineage, but monks from Qingxu lineage and Yuxu lineage.
There was an elderly monk from the Yuxu lineage who did not want to retreat. His face turned red and said: "This is the residence of the Venerable Jishi from my Yuxu lineage. How can it become a forbidden place? You Taixu lineage bully others too much! You bully people too much. !Go away, everyone, I want to meet Ji Shi..."
Before the elderly monk could finish speaking, a figure appeared next to him as if teleporting!
This is a middle-aged man wearing a black Taoist uniform embroidered with gold.
From the attire, one can tell at a glance that this is a Shenmen venerable with Nascent Soul cultivation.
Obviously, Taoist Ji Xin is only the power of Taixu's lineage on the surface, while this Shenmen Venerable is the power left behind by Taixuzi secretly. This Shenmen Venerable is the main force guarding this place.
"Noisy!" the middle-aged man snorted, and with a wave of his robe sleeves, a wave of green energy surged toward the elderly monk.
The green energy hit his face, and the elderly monk immediately stopped moving as if he had been cast on a body-immobilizing technique.
"Your Majesty!"
"Honorable Sir!" Ji Xin, Ji Long and others rushed over and saluted immediately.
"Take this son down." The venerable Shenmen commanded.
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Ji Xin and three other young Taoists responded immediately.
The Shenmen Venerable nodded slightly, and his figure turned into bubbles and disappeared into the air.
At this time, a young Taoist from the Qingxu lineage who had been wandering around here before and was driven away was sitting cross-legged in a somewhat dim side hall with his eyes closed, as if he was concentrating.
In fact, his consciousness has separated from the world of sentient beings and returned to the real world.
This is a player.
In fact, it was not just him, at least ten of the dozen or so people who were wandering near the residence of Venerable Jishi at that time were all players like him.
Including the Taoist Ji Xin who was named by Tai Xuzi before, and Ji Long and Ji Ya who were later named by Ji Xin, they are all players, and they are all players in the Army of All Beings.
To this day, the Army of All Beings has not only arranged for players to join the Shenmen Yuxu lineage, but has also arranged for players to join the Taixu and Qingxu lineage.
Among them, some players are unknown, while others have already begun to show their prominence and are known by those Nascent Soul cultivators.
For example, this is the case with the young Taoist Ji Xin who was just named by Tai Xuzi.
Next, the players who were sent by the All Beings Army to investigate here went offline one after another, and then fed back the intelligence here to the All Beings Army one after another.
The headquarters of the All Creatures Army has specialized staff responsible for collecting, summarizing, and analyzing this information.
After the old monk of the Yuxu lineage was taken away, Master Ji Xin made a patrolling gesture and began to patrol around the palace where Master Ji Shi lived with a vigilant look on his face.
It looked like he was inspecting, but in fact, Master Ji Xin was conducting a relatively covert inspection. While he was inspecting, he gradually approached the palace, and he finally touched something like a wall of air.
'This should be a restriction. The restriction set by Tai Xuzi. Venerable Ji Shi should be trapped in it. This restriction can trap even the peak Nascent Soul monks like Venerable Ji Shi. It's really scary.
...'Ji Xinzhen’s way of life.
'I have to report this information. This should be able to add a lot of merit to me...'
A second later, Master Ji Xin sat under the stone steps in front of the palace and closed his eyes.
…
In Cangzhou Daocheng, in the palace of Cangzhou Dao Mansion, Xiao Zhi was sitting on a futon, closing his eyes and meditating.
He seemed to be closing his eyes to rest, but in fact, he was waiting for news from the army of sentient beings.
Xiao Zhi was not made to wait for too long. Only about half a quarter of an hour passed before Xiao Zhi vaguely heard some sounds.
This is the real world, someone is calling him.
Xiao Zhi immediately thought, and his consciousness left the world of living beings and returned to the real world.
In this way, a few more minutes passed before Venerable Kui said in a cold voice: "The quarter of an hour is almost here. Fellow Daoist Xiao, how are you doing with your situation?"
Xiao Zhi, who was sitting cross-legged on the futon, was like a sculpture, without any response.
"Kui, fellow Daoist Xiao should be performing some kind of magic. Let's not disturb him." Venerable Li Yuan, who was sitting next to him, said softly.
Venerable Kui nodded when he heard the words and said no more, but a look of worry gradually appeared on his face.
Among the Nascent Soul monks of the Yuxu lineage present, he has known Venerable Jishi for hundreds of years and has the best relationship. He is also the one who is most worried about Venerable Jishi's situation.
After another ten seconds passed like this, Xiao Zhi's eyelids trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.
As he opened his eyes, for a moment, the eyes of Venerable Kui and Venerable Li Yuan all fell on Xiao Zhi. Even the invisible demon Li Kuo also looked at Xiao Zhi at this time.
"How's it going? Have you found out anything?" Ji Yuanrong asked.
"We have found out a little bit." Xiao Zhi nodded and said: "Venerable Ji Shi is still alive, his soul lamp is still there, very bright, and he should not be in any danger."
This was also discovered by players.
The palace where the Yuxu lineage stores the soul lamp is a bit dim. There are special monks who are responsible for guarding this palace and sweeping the dust in the palace. One of them is a player of the All Living Beings Army. Not long ago, he used
In the name of Sasu, I ran into the temple to take a look to confirm the life and death of Venerable Jishi.
After confirming it, he immediately returned to the world of sentient beings and reported the matter to the sentient beings army...
As soon as Xiao Zhi said this, Venerable Kui breathed a sigh of relief, and his frown quickly relaxed.
Xiao Zhi paused and continued: "Venerable Ji Shi must have been imprisoned by Tai Xuzi under some restrictions, and he was imprisoned in the palace where he lived. That area has now become Dachang
There is a forbidden area within the Shenmen, and it is guarded by monks from the Taixu lineage, and no one is allowed to approach this area."
After Xiao Zhi finished speaking, Ji Yuanrong frowned and said, "Ji Shi is a peak Nascent Soul monk, and he has an innate spiritual treasure with him. Who can imprison him?"
Xiao Zhi also frowned when he heard this.
Venerable Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "There are still some things that can trap Ji Shi in the imperial city. If nothing else, the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth can do it."
The Heaven and Earth Nine Condensation Formation in Dachang Imperial City is an imperial city-level city protection formation that is one level higher than the Daocheng-level Golden Light Eight-pole Formation. This can be regarded as the highest-level protection formation in Dachang.
The city is in great formation.
The Daocheng-level Golden Light Eight-pole Formation can withstand the simultaneous attacks of several Nascent Soul cultivators in a short period of time. This defensive power is already considered very powerful.
The defensive power of the imperial city-level Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth is much stronger than that of the Daocheng-level Golden Light Eight-pole Formation. Legend has it that it can withstand a full blow from the gods without breaking. If the Nascent Soul cultivator wants to break through this
A city defense formation of this level requires at least dozens of powerful Nascent Soul monks to attack the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth for a long time before it is possible to defeat it.
Anyone who is a Nascent Soul cultivator in Dachang knows all of the above.
Xiao Zhi said in a deep voice: "Venerable Wu Lie can easily imprison Lingtu and even some weaker Nascent Soul monks with the Cangzhou Dao City's defensive formation. Tai Xuzi used the imperial city's formation to imprison Venerable Ji Shi.
It should be possible, but as far as I know, Venerable Ji Shi also has a share in the control of the Nine Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth in the Imperial City. How could it be..."
Venerable Li Yuan said in a deep voice: "The real control of the Nine-Condensation Formation of Heaven and Earth in the Imperial City is only in the hands of Tai Xuzi. As for the control that Ji Shi has, it is just a divided part.
It’s just a small part. Tai Xuzi can take back this part of his control at any time. Just like we are currently stationed in Cangzhou Daocheng and have a part of the control of the Golden Light Eight-pole Formation in Cangzhou Daocheng. But once he is gone,
Venerable Wu Lie, who is the Taoist master of Cangzhou, wants to take back this control, and there is nothing we can do about it."
"I see..." Xiao Zhi nodded after hearing this.
"Tai Xuzi deceives people too much! He dares to imprison Ji Shi. Do you really think that there is no one in my Yuxu lineage?" Venerable Kui stood up suddenly and said in a cold voice: "I want to go to the imperial city to argue with him. Who can
Want to go together?"
No one answered, even the more belligerent Ji Yuanrong remained silent at this moment.
"Since no one is willing to go with me, then I will go alone!" Venerable Kui said in a cold voice.
After saying that, he turned into an afterimage and floated out of the hall.
"Kui! Calm down, don't be impulsive!" Venerable Li Yuan shouted.
